The work an the cburch bas now ad- vanced ta sucb a point that last Sunday found the doorsreopened ta religiaus worship. The churcb was first opened in 1862, and for 87 years oniy tbe necessary repairs have been made wth littie miodification. This year the congregation deemed it es- sential ta modernize and redecor- ate their church, and work along this line was started around July 15th. The total cost of this venture will amount ta approximatèly $10,000, o! which $7,500 bas al- ready been raised. An amaunt o! $2,500 wouid at this time com- pietely caver the expenses of mod- ernizing the church. Vaiuntary work wbicb bas been given so generously by many o! the villagers and district, and the careful dismemberment and reuse o! good materiai, bas been a great factor in retaining the cost o! ren- ovating. The balcony in the cburch re- mains the same, however, iA bas received a generous coat of var- nish. The main auditorium o! the church bas 'been greatly im- proved with a new Iloor, pews and general brightening up. In- stead o! the twa aisies the churcb will naw have only one down. tbe centre witb the pews extending ta either side. The partition at the back of the main auditorium bas been dismantled and this giv- es a great deai mare space. A new and larg-e vestibule bas been buit on the front a! the building fromn which one may en- ter the church or Sunday Scbool. Also in the vestibule is space forJ the bangîng a! coats. The Sunday Schooi roorn bas taken on a definite new look, with a kitchen and the closing in o! the furnace. Removabie partitions arei ta be built in this roomn which, wben erected, xviii divide the space into different ciass rooms. The cammittee in charge o! securing stain glass windows have been successful and we are in- !formed that atý the present time ail except one are ta be instailed. However, these are not ta be placed in the church until the lat-i ter part of the year or the first o! next year. The finance committee of the churcb are working diligently tao endeavour ta erase the propased1 deficit o! $2,500 priar ta the open- ing o! the cburch. 1 flihm Devaluation Not Business Cure-Al 'Simultaneous comment on bath sides of the Atlantic indi- cates that on. sober second thought the devaluation o! tbe Britisb pound and o! the Canadian dol- lar~ - - and the prolongation o! rigid government contrai o! for- eign exchange - - is nat the business cure-aIl that bureau- cratic economists have proclaim- ed," said Joseph Lister Rutiedge, Chairman o! The Canadian Unity Council, today. In Lardon," continued Mn. Rutledge, 'Winston Churchill en- dorsed the adea o! a free exchange rate and said that the pound sbould be allowed ta find it own true level o! value. ln Ottawa, on the same day and therefore un- intluenced by Cburcbill's opinion, Senator AthurRoebuck prapased elimination by Canada, Bnitain and the United States of foreign excbange and tarif! controls that he claimed bave 'well-nigh mur- dered' international trade. Sena- tan Roebuck pointed out that un- der Canada's foreign excbange cofitral program a billion dollars bad 'gone. down the sink' anad that ta save aur remaining reserve o! a bal! billion Amenican dollars the government bad prahibited many imports from the U.S. and thus seiously bampered vital for- eign trade. -There was a funther interest- ing similarity in the Churchill and Roebuck speeches," said Mn. Rutiedge. "Senator Roebuck ex- pressed the opinion that exchange contrais are a product o! the -Mac xian phiiosopby; Churchill called socialism cantrary ta hû- man nature, said that it could be en!arced only in the fashion o! communisin, and stated, "Abun- dance or plenty is the aim o! man- kind. Plenty is witbin its power ....restriction is inevitably the enemy o! plenty." jTRANS-CANADA HIGHWAi Now that the Dominion Gov- erniment bas definitley cammitted itself ta supparting the Trans- Canada Higbway it's ta be boped that Parliament wîll give sober thoughit ta the major considera- tions whicb should determine the route, says The Financial Post. If aIl the pleas and shouts of var- ious interested municipalities are heeded we will end up with the croakedest, most expensive and least efficient road in the world. The Trans-Canada must be as re>isonablp, straight as geogra- phy wi]l permit. If it does nat give us the mast direct and best road route po4sible between the Atlantic and Pacific then therc, woula seem little excuse for building it. Alberta is Canada's main ail praducing area.

Canadian chul- dren have ta depend on Child Welfare Services for their happi- ness and well-being. In every village and tawn throughaut the Unitéd Counties there are youflg- sters like Tommy: - - - Unhappiness and dejection hung over Tommy like a beavy cloud as he stoad before his teacher, stammering answers ta her questions. Miks M. had no- ticed when Tommy came into the schooi roomn that morning that he had some bad looking bruises on his face and on one arm. Tammy's tale was a sorry one. His step-father, he said, had beat him up the night before. Wbat for? Tommy looked embarrassed. He didn't want ta, say. Miss M. sent Tommy ta the schooi doctor who examined him and found many bruises. Tommy had been beaten badly. The doctor calied the Children's Aid Sa- ciety. When the Society investigated, the whole story came out. Tommy was an illegitimate cbild, born before bis mother's present mar. niage. Al bis smali life he had been rejected and scorned by his step-fatber, and o! late, by bis younger haîf-brothers and sisters, tao, His mother, wbile fond o! hlmi in ber way, was too weak ta give bim any consistent affection and support, and she too !avoured the younger children. Tommy's positioZ in the family circle was an unfortuniate one. Tommy's step-father had neyer been kind ta him. And when, in- evitably, Tommy developed all the symptoms a! an unbappy, in- secure childhood - - - bed wet- ting, stammering - - he took ta beating the boy ta "take it out o! him". Sometimes be would lock bim in the cellar. Tommy found no comfort at schooi either where he became an abject for ridicule by bis scbool mates. The Children's Aid Society studies Tommy's situation, talked with the father and mother, and decided that Tommy wauld neyer bave a real place in that family.* He wouid always be someone be- tween the father and mother, the subject for quarrelling and a con- stant reminder ta 'bath the man and the woman o! her lufe before ber marriage. Sa the Society took over the guardianship of Tommy and found him a foster home with kind people wbo would under- stand wby be had bis failings and try ta help him overcome them. Tommy would be safe at last in a real home, and there would be someone ta stand up for hlm when be needed it. These future citizený. must rely on the help they rel eive from organizations sucb as the Chul- dren's Aid Society because they have no family ta look after them.

The stage was appropîately dcarated wîth flawers and ferns and the sofi' lighting lent enchantment ta the fferings o! a graup of artists Lfrom the Royal Conservatory of Music headed by Miss Mary Mc- Donald. Miss McDonald intraduced each artist in turn and her impromptu programn arrangement resulted in a well-raunded musical treat that brought thunderous a p p 1 a u s e fromn the youtbful and apprecia- tive audience. Mary Alice Ragers, soprano, opened the program witb three selectians. The familar and beautiful "Loch Lomond" was fol- lowed by a lively and spirited number "~Miranda" by Richard Hageman. Ta conclude she sang the ever beautiful 'L'ard's Prayer" combining great skili with depth o! feeling. Jasephine Chuchman, viainist, selected the last mavement o! the Mendelssohn Violin Concerta as ber offering. This composition gave ample scope ta dispiay ber expert bawing. The technicai skill and fine meladic passages won instant approval from the boys. In addition ta ber strenous raie as accompanist, Mary McDonaid, impressed ber listeners with ber interpretation a! Strauss' Wine, Women and Sang Waitz. In this number sne displayed a tecnlnical skiil that augurs weil for her car- eer as a concert pianist. Arthur Sclater, baritane, sang the stirring "Fishermen o! Eng- land" and then convulsed bis au- dience by .4ome o! bis Gilbert and Sullivan excerpts wbicb bave won hlm an intérnational repu- tation. "The Policeman's Sang" from the 2nd act o!

The rapt attention and enthus- iastic applause o! the audience had a visible efect on the artlsts. They knew their efforts found fa- vour witb the boys and at the conclusion Miss McDonald return- ed ta the stage ta express the ap- preciation o! the artists for such an entbusiastic reception.
